The
Reston Community Orchestra makes a practice of inviting composers to
write new works for the ensemble's concerts. For the 2012 tribute to
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Maestro Dingwall Fleary invited Eric
Lacy to write a piece. The young composer produced The
Dream
of Conscience: A Tribute to MLK, which
the orchestra performed. In our correspondence with Eric Lacy, we
learned he was preparing for a master's recital at the University of
North Carolina Greenville. We invited him to provide details of the
recital program, and he has done so:

“Hi
Mr. Zick,

I
wanted to keep you informed about my master's recital. I've
programmed five pieces, Impulsivity,
Three
Question Marks
(for solo cello), 13
(sacred
piece for solo soprano and string quintet), Frenzy,
and KLTPZYXM
(concerto for clarinet). The concert is April 24 at UNCG's recital
hall.

I'm
excited about it and I'll let you know more as we get closer to the
date. Thanks so much for your interest!!
